If you aren't already having trouble with stealing followed by the chase, then chasing can be fun for both parties under certain circumstances. The game should have a name (mine is "I'm gonna get you"), it should be initiated by the human, it should be terminated by the human, and it should never be played when the dog has a forbidden object. That way, the difference between the two (chase as a game and chase to retrieve a stolen object) is quite clear to the dog. I never engage in the second but we enjoy the first!
Does that make sense?
